Hi

There's a TeX Hour tomorrow evening (Thursday 1 April) 6:30 to 7:30pm UK time. We are privileged to have Jana Schroeder as a special guest.  In other news, within a few hours videos from past TeX Hours will be up on YouTube (all the way up to last week). URLs are below.

Last month Jana organised a who-are-we and what-do-we-want and how-to-get-there meeting which was attended by over 20 blind coders. Jana has applied for a $25,000 Holman prize to fund her project, called Blind Coders Blazing Trails.

The draft agenda for tomorrow is
1. Introductions
2. News from Blind Coders, with questions and answers
3. Blind persons as partners for accessible math

Here are some blind coder URLs.

The TeX Hour has a monthly cycle for its topics.

Third Thursday: Conversion (eg LaTeX to PDF, LaTeX to HTML, markdown to LaTeX)
Fourth Thursday: Durable Documents (same outputs give same input across space and time)
Fifth Thursday: Experiments and Exploration.

Finally, Jana and all other Holman Prize applicants have our best wishes.

with best regards

Jonathan
